NYT ‘Strands' Hints And Answers For Thursday August 7, 2025
Looking for Tuesday's Strands hints, spangram and answers? You can find them here: How To Play Strands The New York Times' Strands puzzle is a play on the classic word search. It's in beta for now, which means it'll only stick around if enough people play it every day. There's a new game of Strands to play every day. The game will present you with a six by eight grid of letters. The aim is to find a group of words that have something in common, and you'll get a clue as to what that theme is. When you find a theme word, it will remain highlighted in blue. You'll also need to find a special word called a spangram. This tells you what the words have in common. The spangram links two opposite sides of the board. While the theme words will not be a proper name, the spangram can be a proper name. When you find the spangram, it will remain highlighted in yellow. Be warned: You'll need to be on your toes. 'Some themes are fill-in-the-blank phrases. They may also be steps in a process, items that all belong to the same category, synonyms or homophones,' The New York Times notes.

NYT Connections hints today for #787: Clues and answers for Wednesday, Aug. 6
If you can't seem to figure out today's New York Times Connections puzzle, you're not alone. But fortunately, if you're stuck, we've got hints (and spoilers if you want them) to help you get through Wednesday's puzzle: #787. Don't feel bad for taking a peek — even yellow was tricky today. Since we're in this together, I'll share how I did each day. This puzzle started out fairly easy but I had a hard time guessing the final word for yellow (again). It took two mistakes before I figured out the final yellow word. Blue was easiest for me. If you're new to NYT Connections, we've got some tips to help you along the way. Also, check out today's Wordle hints and answer. How to play NYT Connections NYT Connections is a surprisingly difficult word game and if you play, you're now considered a "connector." There are 16 words presented in a four-by-four grid and your goal is to match four words into their respective color-coded groups (yellow, green, blue, purple). Yellow is the easiest to guess while purple is the hardest. Your job is to find out how the four words are connected to a specific group. For instance, in one recent puzzle, the blue group hint was "related to buying a home" and the words were appraisal, escrow, insurance and mortgage. If you make a mistake when you submit, that's okay. You get four guesses before the game is over and the answers are revealed. You can also click on the lightbulb icon in the game to get some hints, but we'll also provide those here. If you find yourself obsessed with this game after completing just one puzzle, I've got bad news for you. You can only play once a day. The timer resets each night at midnight. Tips for playing NYT Connections I only recently started playing Connections, but here are some tips I've found useful along the way. 1. When you get an answer wrong, pay attention to the text that appears at the top of the puzzle. "One away" means you only got one word wrong. Analyze each word to find one that might fit better in another group and try a new word. 2. If you're stuck, shuffle the board. You can shuffle as many times as you'd like to help you see some different word combinations. 3. Try to find the easy yellow group words first. Those words usually stick out because they have so much in common — they're often synonyms of one another. But be wary of the trick words that could fit into multiple categories. 4. Stumped? Come back to the puzzle later with a fresher mind. Trying to solve a difficult puzzle without "sleeping" on it might result in too many mistakes. Today's NYT Connections hints Check out these hints if you're having a hard time grouping them together. I'll give you my own hints: Yellow group: Sharp things you'd apply to your clothes Green group: Poke fun at Blue group: Related to Muhammad Ali's career Purple group: What you build when you work out Here's one word from each group: Yellow group hint word: Pin Green group hint word: Rib Blue group hint word: Hook Purple group hint word: Squad Okay, on to the official group names for a bigger hint. If you don't want to know what those are, then stop scrolling. NYT Connections group names Here are the group names for today's puzzle. Yellow group: Accessory with a pointy fastener Green group: Tease Blue group: Boxing punches Purple group: Muscle nicknames plus "S" Warning, spoilers ahead! If you scroll past this, the answers are right below. Final warning! Last chance to go back and finish the game. Today's NYT Connections answers (spoilers) Here are the Connections groups and the words that go with them. Yellow group: Accessory with a pointy fastener (badge, brooch, button, pin) Green group: Tease (bait, needle, rag, rib) Blue group: Boxing punches (cross, hook, jab, uppercut) Purple group: Muscle nicknames plus "S" (shammy, spec, squad, strap) My results today Blue stood out first today because I saw several boxing terms. As always, purple was creative and I never would've guessed it. Yellow was also iffy for me today but I finally got it after three tries. 🟦🟦🟦🟦 🟩🟩🟩🟩 🟨🟨🟪🟨 🟨🟪🟨🟨 🟨🟨🟨🟨 🟪🟪🟪🟪 Thanks for reading!

2025 free agent rankings, questions from the mailbag & Heart and Hustle Awards
Subscribe to Baseball Bar-B-Cast Apple Podcasts | Spotify | YouTube Jake's 2025 free agent rankings are in. Is Kyle Schwarber really ahead of Pete Alonso? Guest host, Bailey Freeman, aka Foolish Baseball, pinch hits for Jordan Shusterman and gives his thoughts on Jake's list. Where does he agree and disagree with the rankings mid-season? The Yankees lost again, and this time Aaron Judge was in the lineup. The guys give their thoughts on the situation in the Bronx and take a look, maybe regrettably so, at the Yankees mentions following their 2-0 loss to the Rangers on this week's "Sorry for Your Mentions." You provided the questions and now Jake and Bailey will provide the answers. They reach into the mailbag and answer some questions from the audience! Do MLB players get jury duty? What other non-baseball stadiums should host a game? How exactly should we be evaluating MLB managers? The guys discuss. The Heart and Hustle Award, possibly MLB's least talked about award, is given out by the Major League Baseball Players Alumni Association to the player who demonstrates a passion for the game of baseball and best embodies the values, spirit and traditions of the game. Each team has a winner, and then an overall winner is selected from each of the 30 individual team winners. Bailey tries to guess each team's choice. Jordan will do the same on Friday. Who knows ball more? We will find out. Join us on this mid-week edition of Baseball Bar-B-Cast.
